§34 in relation to the development plan; Definition of the immediate surroundings

I cannot see any "luxury" in making only the guest bathroom (with a child-width shower) available to the child. To me, that sounds like the masterstroke of a Sagrotan fairy who is horrified by such dirty little creatures. Or is it a visiting child from the first marriage with the hated ex? – then one can also forgo visitation rights.

If you read the shown floor plans as "proof" that the imagined idea works perfectly, then you still have much to learn (and you definitely should – without these drawings! – go to an independent architect). A house builder’s draftsman will coldly present you presentations and detailed drawings that further nurture the "works perfectly" illusion. Waking you up from this dream while it is still reasonably possible to stop it is certainly no malice.

By calling the marketing concept "Anstattvilla" by its real name, I do not mean to belittle those who buy into it but rather to "accuse" the sellers of this illusion. As long as it does not happen in my neighborhood, everyone may even explicitly choose the taste "Tuscany Bauhaus alpine in Swedish red."

As I said, the floor plan was neither up for discussion nor evaluation here. There is no need for a dogmatic hero to wake someone up from the idea. It was about clarifying the bay windows. Besides: the term "Anstattvilla" is a subjective judgment, in this context a negative one. Of course, one can convince oneself of this, but with the references from the Insta link, I wouldn’t stick my neck out too far either.

But again: the floor plan was neither up for discussion nor evaluation here, so shall we just leave it at that?

I didn’t say that. But the principle of brainstorming and free expression of opinion also applies in a forum. What is your problem if someone here tells you in their own words that they don’t like it? I could point out 20 mistakes in your draft besides the single captured bathing area, which apparently would just bounce off you, but you remember the choice of the bay window word…

It’s not a lie when I tell you that the architect of your house provider probably won’t reveal the secrets to you. The architect of a house provider works for the house construction company. For you, the contact person will be the company’s salesman. Or you have been assigned a consultant. Since the credo “the customer is king” still counts, the architect will draw everything for you exactly as you want it. With all planning and thought errors. Because they don’t want angry customers but rather pamper them by praising the draft created by the layman and also using it. The less work the company and the architect have to invest, the better. Building preliminary approval goes through, great, step 2 is then the building application. This way construction can proceed quickly, but without critical examination.

Privacy then means that the children have to go to the toilet through the entrance area, just under 3.5 meters from the street, and probably also return naked after showering. That about the topic of land use according to Par 34 ;) But I don’t want to annoy you.

I didn’t accuse YOU of that either ;)

I just see a big difference between brainstorming and someone disliking city villas and badmouthing the concept – purely out of personal aversion. I didn’t come here and ask: ‘Guys, please tell me which houses you find beautiful.’ The actual subject is at the beginning of the thread. That it went in another direction is due to subjective deprecating comments that nobody needed or asked for. Of course everyone can express their opinion, but if it doesn’t really contribute to the subject – does it really have to be brought up anyway? Or is there simply sometimes the urge here to force everyone one’s own point of view?

And on the topic of privacy, there are some nice options, from shutters and pleated blinds to PDLC film.

I will end this now. The first posts were still on topic and helpful, unfortunately it quickly developed into unobjective and unrelated topics to the question. Ciao

But again: The floor plan was neither up for discussion nor evaluation here, so shall we just leave it at that?

But the floor plan, the associated plot of land, the building regulations, and the fundamental requirements ultimately form a UNIT and cannot be considered individually. You should think about many things regarding the floor plan. To name just a few: The area itself is spacious but starts out cramped right next to the entrance with the stairs. The bedroom is not cosy... as everything always happens past the bed, the way to the bathroom, the way to the closet area, even entering the room is practically next to the headboard. The washbasin in the great master bathroom is hidden in the dark corner. An incredibly large number of useless spaces are created, which actually have more of a corridor character than making rooms spacious.

I only see one big difference between brainstorming and when someone dislikes city villas and badmouths the concept – purely out of personal aversion.

Then read #14 again. Maybe something different came across to you – purely subjective – namely that a city villa is not a smart choice on this plot, which a second user also says. Honestly, you can overestimate a lot, you can also ignore a lot, withhold the truth, or keep something secret. You have to know how to use a forum, whether you let the negative sides weigh heavily or just tune them out, possibly just smile sometimes or not take something seriously. Ultimately, the term substitute villa could also come from me in this thread. Here in Hamburg, they still exist, the chic villas, but also near Berlin, my family had a wonderful city villa in Woltersdorf. Somehow it must trigger a certain group of people when you talk about city villas. Maybe the "city villa" is a sign of special wealth, with columns in front of the house then an extra class, they think. The city villas, which nowadays are built completely without shine, have nothing in common with a city villa. They are mostly so stripped down and with windows counted that they are optically now the cheapest eyesore of all houses. Substitute villa, I think, a nice play on words. Yes, that’s just how it is if you look at the market. Whether that applies to your city villa, we cannot know. But more than every second mentioned and planned city villa here is only built because it triggers, although the house form does nothing for the plot. On the contrary. This is a house-building forum where some have acquired knowledge over decades, so somewhere here and there a biting way of presenting is to be found. And honestly – it’s also the wrong house form for this plot ;)

Ciao

Oh, what a pity.. ciao. Now that it’s getting interesting and I’m getting your messages about this post

I would probably develop a weak bladder as a child and always walk loudly past the marital bed to then use the toilet :D

In the end, the appreciation of loving parents towards their children consists of ..

.. spending the time patiently cleaning up the little puddles their kids made because they didn’t manage the stairs. With teenage children, it gets even more exciting – they and their friends then collect their urgent needs in juice bottles. It has all happened before ;)
